Project Description

This national survey project aims at 1) identifying K-12 schools in the United States that have successfully adopted the learner-centered paradigm, 2) systematically investigating their learner-centered teaching practices, school system structure, and uses of technology, and 3) examining the relationship between the learner-centered features and students’ academic achievement in such schools.
